Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Plant Structure and Function. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

A plant stem gives a plant structure and supports the growth of the plant.

Pollination is necessary in order for a plant to reproduce.

Stamens, pistils, pollen, and sepals are external structures of a flowering plant that allow it to reproduce.

Some plants grow from seeds.

Survival is the ability of an organism to stay alive in its environment.

Behavior is how an organism responds to its environment.

Reproduction occurs when an organism produces another organism.

The structures in an organism have different purposes, or functions.

Pollination is the process by which pollen is transferred from the stamens to the stigma of a plant.

Internal structures are located within an organism.

The strength and covering of a plant stem helps protect it from its environment.

When organisms grow, they become larger over time.

Sharp external structures on plants, such as thorns or prickles, help protect plants from predators.

The roots of a plant absorb water and nutrients from the soil and also give the plant support.

External structures are located on the outside of an organism.(ES)

The functions of internal and external structures support an organism’s survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.

The ovaries in a flowering plant allow it to reproduce.

Structures that protect organisms from their environment help them to survive.

The functions of internal and external structures work together as part of a system in an organism.

All organisms have structures, which are the physical parts that make up an organism.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What structures of a plant can you name? What are some plants that produce flowers as part of their life cycle? What is the difference between structure and function in a living thing?

After the Game

What are some internal and external structures of the plant that you encountered in this game? How do the functions of a plants roots contribute to its survival? What external structures can plants have that help protect it from harm? What internal structures does a plant have that helps it to reproduce?
